Celebrity Apprentice 24 hour fitness challenge

First of all, Get well soon Bret!!! Praying for a speedy recovery!

This week's Celebrity Apprentice had me laughing through the whole episode, despite my sadness at Bret's illness. The show started off with The Donald's son hitting golf balls. Little Baron looks like a mini version of his father. That being said, he manages to be adorable. Those blue eyes were just beautiful! It's interesting.. The Donald's son Don, looks like his father but not. Don looks like he has something jammed where the sun doesn't shine all the time. When he speaks though, its apparent that he does have a sense of humor, which with his looks makes it even more funny :)

The task was for both teams to work with 24 hours fitness and come up with an exercise routine. Whoever 24 hour fitness liked best got a donation on top of whatever each team raised. Tenacity immediately went all in on fundraising, minus Cyndi who was working with Lady Gaga. I have to say Holli did a wonderful job raising money, not so much with organization and creativity.

Poor Curtis, ever the organizer, had everything planned down to the last minute and then promptly had his timeline blown out of the water. lol. People who are rigid planners often dont know what to do when their plans unravel, but Curtis did a good job trying to stay on task. Overall, Tenacity came up with a basic, uncreative, but effective work out routine. The concept would not have been marketable since it is like every other work out on the market right now. The team managed to pull through on the donations and that gave them the win.

Taking the direct opposite approach, Rock Solid, went with what they knew... Rock & Roll. Where as Tenacity went for the cash, Rock Solid focused on making a fun, creative work out. They definitely used their strength when they went with a Rock themed work out. The whole concept made me chuckle. Work Outs included The Air Guitar, Tour Bus Thrust, and Praying to the Porcelain God. The group made backstage VIP passes to give each participant. This would be a smart marketing move if 24 hour Fitness implements the class, as people would have it to refer to to pass it on to other prospective class members.

LOL Sharon went equipped with a whip to "motivate people". The music was fun and everyone in the class seemed to be enjoying themselves. Since each donation had to be matched up with a body, Bret called on some of his.. um.. lol connections to help fill the class. When one of the women decided to um help Bret with his tour bus thrusts, the look on the 24 hour fitness lady was PRICELESS.

I think the biggest mistakes Rock solid made, was not getting every one in on the fundraising. Bret had many connections that could have been utilized, wihch would have been more money for charity.

Big props to both teams for raising more money in a single episode in a season of The apprentice!!

I have to say, I really gained some respect for The Donald when he decided NOT to fire anyone. It would have been a tough decision to make at any rate. On a future money making stand point. let's face it, you want to make money, but money that can be made again and again is much better. Team Tenacity's idea would not have been a long term money maker since the idea has been seen and done before. It would get lost in all the other fitness classes out there. Rock solid's idea could be marketed and used over and over. It definitly would stand out.

hmmm... I wonder if The Donald could take an average joe shmo and make him or her into a brilliant business person.. maybe and idea for a new reality show? LOL

I really miss sharon's talk show.. wonder what else she has in the works??
